About Me

I am a Supervisor in our Local History/ Genealogy Room at Fremont Area District Library. I also am a genealogist of over 30 years. I love my job but find it doesn't give me the time I would like to explore cemeteries.
My family finds that all roads lead to a cemetery when they travel with me but they are also learning to enjoy the beauty and peace that is found there.
I organize a yearly cemetery walk for the community and help other area organizations with theirs. We explore the history and lore of the cemeteries while celebrating and learning about the people buried there.

Memorial Day is soon approaching

For many years Terry Wantz would go to the county cemteries putting out flags and silk flowers on area veterans gravestones. As Memorial Day is getting closer every time I think of it I realize Terry isn't with us to do this any more.

My husband and I talked about it and we will try to do some but where to start? I am working and Terry worked hours and hours on this. I don't know how much time I will be able to spend on it.

I have tried to contact veterans groups with no luck so I guess Robin and I will be busy the next couple of weekends doing as many as we can. As long as money and time allow.

We never appreciate the little things people do quietly on their own until they are gone.

On this Memorial day I have another person to add to my list of memorials that has made a big difference.
